The Verdict
UiPath is the enterprise standard with mature orchestration and a large partner ecosystem. It requires certified developers and significant investment. Mediar is built from the ground up at the OS level - we interact directly with applications through accessibility APIs, not brittle selectors. For teams without RPA infrastructure, Mediar deploys in days, not months.

Why OS-Level Matters
Traditional RPA uses brittle selectors that break when UIs change. Mediar is built at the operating system level, using accessibility APIs that applications expose for screen readers. This is fundamentally more reliable than pixel-based or selector-based approaches. When an app updates, our automations keep working.
Business Case
UiPath makes sense if you have an RPA Center of Excellence with certified developers. If you need to automate legacy applications - EHRs, ERPs, desktop software with poor or no APIs - without building an RPA practice, Mediar gets you to production in a week, not a quarter.
